Notes - from The Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
Solomon (Michael, Christopher, Gr. Meyer). Born Feb. 26, 1819; died in Potter township, Penns valley, July
19, 1872, and is buried at Boalsburg. He was married first to Margaret Spicker, Aaronsburg, Pa., who was born Nov. 28, 1818; died Feb. 3, 1846. Second to Emeline Margaret Embich, who was born Sept. 21, 1831; died Feb. 7, 1875.
In his younger days Solomon followed the profession of teaching day-school, but the natural bent of his mind was music, and he devoted the greater part of his life to teaching that subject. He was a very excellent singer himself, and as an instructor of classes in vocal music or as a conductor of singing conventions, he had but few equals. His second, wife, Emaline, was also a fine singer and skillful performer on the organ and piano, and used to give instructions on those instruments. I believe all their children are musicians, some of whom have achieved considerable fame as singers and violinists. The family lived in Penns valley, Centre Co., Pa.
- Solomon Meyer, s/o Michael and Elizabeth (Derstine) Meyer, a music teacher by profession, was married (first) to Margaret (Spicker) Meyer with whom he had three children: William F.; Alfred P.; and Mary E. Meyer. His second wife was Emeline Margaret (Embich) Meyer with whom he had 11 children: Lowell M.; Margaret E.; Frederick W.; Lucetta; John F.; Michael D.; Henry H.; Harry S.; Lucetta D.; Solomon; and Emeline Meyer.
